Looking for the best free crochet infinity scarf patterns out there? We’ve got a collection of over 25 of the best!
Are you on team infinity scarf or team regular scarf? I vote for an infinity scarf all the way! I never have to worry about my scarf slipping off and I never have to mess with the ends of my scarf to make them match up. Plus, infinity scarves are totally on trend right now!
So how do you crochet an infinity scarf anyway? Some free crochet infinity scarf patterns are worked in rows (lengthwise or widthwise) and then the ends are sewn together. Other patterns are worked in the round. There’s no right or wrong way to crochet an infinity scarf! The free patterns we’ve curated for you today all put their unique spin on it. Prepare to get inspired by all the different color schemes, stitch patterns, and unique designs!
What yarn should you use to crochet an infinity scarf? There’s no need to go out and buy anything special, you can use what you’ve got in your stash! Choose a soft yarn because your neck is a sensitive area. Wool is a popular choice for its warmth, but a good acrylic yarn works just as well. As far as the weight goes, we’ve got free crochet infinity scarf patterns for pretty much everything from fingering weight up to super bulky weight.
Do infinity scarves make good gifts? Absolutely! If you are working on birthday or Christmas presents, you will want to add these free crochet infinity scarf patterns to your list. They are also perfect for craft fairs if you are a crochet seller. Of course, don’t forget to make one for yourself too! We have a ton of different designs in store for you today, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find one (or a few!) to suit your unique style! Scroll down and see for yourself!

Crocheting Infinity Scarves
There are two main ways to crochet an infinity scarf. The first is to work in the round for a seamless scarf. The second way is to make a regular scarf and sew the ends together. Both of these work equally well and as long as you put the seam in the back you really can’t tell much of a difference!
These scarves make great gifts and they are also wonderful projects for beginners, especially the ones that are joined at the ends. They don’t use too much yarn (usually just a skein or two!) and you can play around with different stitches and textures.
Yarn Options for Crochet Infinity Scarf Patterns
One of the best things about infinity scarves is how versatile they are. You will see in our pattern collection here a wide variety of styles and shapes made with all different types of yarn.
If you are giving the scarf as a gift, make sure you know if the recipient has a wool allergy! If you are unsure (such as teacher gifts), then go with acrylic yarn or other fiber.
You’ll find scarves here for worsted weight yarn, bulky yarn, dk weight yarn, and more! The sky is the limit!
